Prohibition in Rhody.

Not everybody in Rhode Island is
satisfied that prohibition prohibits, else
apetitiOn representing fifty millions of
capital would not have gone up to the
Legislature of the state from the one
city of Providence, asking for the re-
peal Of the prohibitory law of that state
In fact, the more experience we have
with prohibitOry legislation, the more
certain it becomes that it is not by any
means the best means of meeting the
evils of the drink traffic. 1t is easy,
comparatively, to enforce law max
ing that a crime which everybody con-
cedeS to be crime and nobody will de-
fend. Such laws have the backing of
the whole reputable community. But
even in the states where the prohibition
sentiment is strongest, there is always
large minority who refuse to believe
liquor selling crime, and who will
either sell it, or wink at its being sold,
no matter what law or how much law
there may be to the contrary. So long
as that continues to be the state of the
case, prohibitory laws are worse than
uSeleSS.-Er.

What True Merit Will Do.

The unprecedented sale of BoSchee'S
German Syrup within few years has
astonished the world. 1t is without
doubt, the safest and best remedy ever
discovered for the speedy and effectual
cure of Coughs, Colds and the severest
Lung troubles. 1t acts on an entirely
different principle from the usual pre-
scriptiOns given by physicians, as it
does not dry up Cough and leave the
disease still in the system, but on the
contrary removes the cause of the
trouble, heals the parts affected and
leaves them a purely healthy condition.
a bottle kept in the house for use when
the diseases make their appearance,
will save doctors bills and a long spell
of serioas illness. A trial will convince
you of these facts. 1t is positively sold
by all druggists and general dealers in
the land. Price, 20 cts, large bottles.

 We have been unable to do any. thing iutelli gently on road cases, because the road districts seem to be in confusion in the county rec ords, and we respectfully call tine Hon. County Judges attention to the same.
 We also call the Copnty Judges attention to the subject of bridges in the county, and especially, Gar. land creek bridge at the mouth of Edwards and Hale lane. over which the is heavy traffic and which is liable to subject the coun. ty to a judgment for damage.

 The March stdtcmen; Uf exports and imports just .ssllr.i bN tiir Du' reau ol Sti;isIics, shows that thrra was a hedyy increase ln the rete nae from customs in the nine months, ended March 3l, as com. pared with the corresponding pe- riod of last year. The total value of dutiable merchandise imported in the former period was S339, ,69S,' 732, against S323,27 300 in 1886, being an increase of more than S26, 100000. Some of the items of increase are suggestive. Thus while the dutiable value of manufactured wool fell off about SSOO,OO0, the value of mann factured wool increased nearly S4,- 100000. On the items of women's and children's dress goods alone the increase was %2,771 ,OOO. On manufacturers of silk the increase was more than S3,0OO,OOO. On iron ore the increase was about SS0O,- 900, and on iron and steel manu lecturers thereof it was So, 793,OOO. The import of sugar fell of about s, 3,O00,OOO, which indicates that either more Was produced or that less was used. The imports for the month of March alone amount. ed to $62, ,927 ,242, being an increase over the same month of last year of S2,SOO,OO The largest increase in articles was m coffee and tin plate.

 It is discovered that the so- called Utah act relating to polyga- my, adultery, bigamy and kindred crimes, and providing severe pen alties, is unquestiOnabiy in force in Washington, as a "place over which the United States have eX. elusive jurisdiction" This is a point our gay and festive congress men should not overlook.

Even congress- man is not infallible.
 The Presidents public reception yesterday was enlivened by an in cident not down on the bills. A school of young ladies were intro duced to the President, whose face beamed with smiles as he greeted the young people. But the climax was reached when two young ladies embraced him, ex- claiming that they had come all the way from Missouri for that purpose. The President very gal lantly invited them to call again.
